The current project is a Burnt Orange Bobbles Scarf. I've developed bobbles patterns before, but can't find where I might have written them down. Anyway, I really like this new one and will surely make something else with it soon, too. The fabric created is spongy and warm so there are so many uses for it.
What are you making, baking, growing this week?
All the very best,

Our pups have been on a raw diet their entire lives. Recently, our supplier of chicken necks retired and closed their shop.
Catherine researched and found Tewes Farm Store in Erlanger, Kentucky, to fill the gap.
Ah, yes, the yummy raw diet will continue to be served....

We celebrate holidays here and Mother's Day seems to be a major holiday! Son Don sent these goodies that included...
Catherine took us to dinner (see May 11 post) and cleaned out the goldfish pond. I used to clean out the pond every year, but for several years now my back has not allowed me to do so. Catherine cleans out the pond as part of her Mothers Day present to me every year. Of course, Lily had to help. Images to come!
I hope all Moms are continuing to enjoy Mothers day all month!
All the best,
Lois
The pool is open at Erica's home and our pups are thrilled.
The Labs are Elsa (in the pool) and Lily. The Border Collies are Teddy, center, looking at Tilly almost out of the picture on the right.
Soon it will be time for dock diving for the pups. I hope they get a chance to compete this year! Our Wendy did so well a few years ago that she was invited to Nationals in Orlando which is quite an honor.
Summer! Yay!
All the best,
Lois
I recently came across this picture of the pups playing. The image is dated 2016.
From left to right: Wendy, Teddy, Erik, and Penny.
Wendy and Teddy are still great friends. Teddy's mommy is our friend, Erica, and Teddy is here often while his mommy travels.
Of course, our sweet Erik and Penny have both crossed the rainbow bridge. They were life long friends and we want to think they are running, playing, and resting together forever.
Ah, yes, sweet memories....

This was a really fast, tasty dinner.
One bag of jumbo scallops tossed in flour with salt and pepper. Remove the scallops after browning on each side for three minutes in a little olive oil on medium high heat.
Add a half medium onion chopped to the pan and brown. De glaze the pan with a cup of white wine, add some garlic, and a tiny bit of flour toi thicken sauce. Return scallops to sauce, spoon over angel hair pasta, and add a little cheese. I think the whole process took no more than 20 minutes. .
What is your quick warm weather meal?

I'm currently working on a lap blanket in burgundy and shades of pink. These colors are just outstanding together.
When finished, this will be listed in the shop where there are more than 300 other items ready to ship now.
What are you making, baking, growing this week?
All the best,
